Guide me then, in my doings, in a manner which profiteth me for the
glory of Thy Cause and the loftiness of the state of Thy servants."

~ Baha'u'llah

"The Research Department of the Universal House of Justice has advised
that the prayer... was revealed by Bahá’u’lláh to Jináb-i-Samandar
[Shaykh Kázim Samandar], the father of the Hand of the Cause of God,
Tarázu’lláh Samandarí, to assist him in making a difficult decision." ~
From a letter dated August 21, 2001 from the Department of the
Secretariat

OM NAMAH SHIVAYA “We are here
calling for Lord Shiva. When we call him with our hearts, he manifests
himself, and we must take account when he does so. Not only is Shiva the
symbol of cosmic consciousness, but he is also the power of
transformation. Before cosmic consciousness can manifest, it’s necessary
to transform that which needs to be transformed. This implies a process
of deconstructing our conditionings and belief systems, and all the
structures created by the false ‘I’ – including the false ‘I’ itself.”

The
path of personal transformation and the path of social transformation
are not really separate from each other. We must reclaim the concept of
awakening from an exclusively individualistic therapeutic model and
focus on how individual liberation also requires social transformation.
Engagement in the world is how our personal awakening blossoms.
